Auto Correct, it ain't all it's cracked up to be.


I'm a Twitter addict.

It's the last thing I do before I go to bed (most nights, *wink wink*) and one of the first things I do in the morning. And, it's all thanks to my iPhone...oh, and TweetDeck, too.

They make it too easy, iPhones and TweetDeck do. It's so available, so at my fingertips.

But, see...the thing with iPhones...or, heck, ANY smart phone, is that they autocorrect. I'll mean to type "hell" and it'll autocorrect to "he'll"...maybe smart phones don't like bad words (I wonder what it would do for the "f" word...hold please, now I'm intrigued...okay, back now. So, apparetnly, smart phones don't mind the "f" word, but don't like "hell". Noted.).

Just the other day, I was sending my husband a text...curious as to the status of our offspring...I typed, "Did you pick up the kids yet?", only I obviously misspelled something and what was displayed was "Did you pick up the LSD yet?"

Errr...oops.

Worst autocorrect ever. I'm sure of it.

But...now I'm curious. Have YOU had any incredibly incorrect autocorrects?

Smart phones...sometimes they just ain't that smart.

(P.S-Dear Twitter Followers: Sorry for the three-peated story...I just had to share it...again!)

    The worst would be when I was texting my mom and hubby and friends about my little girl Madison's bday. Somehow six turned to sex. I will never understand that one.

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. ( Ahem... ) Just keepin ' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips...
